Fiat 500 Replacement Key Fob

It could be time to replace the battery if the 500 remote key fob isn't working. If you replace the battery, but it's still not working, the problem may be somewhere else.

At United Locksmith, we specialize in making new keys for old cars. We have the tools and parts needed for this job.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is the most common reason for your Fiat 500 keyfob not locking or unlocking the doors. The battery of the coin cell inside the key fob will deplete quickly when you don't utilize it frequently enough. If your remote starts to show signs of a loss in range or stopped working in the middle of the night, then your battery may be dead.

Metal clips keep the battery in on the key fob. If the clips are not tight, they can cause problems with contact that can prevent the remote from receiving power. Using a small flathead screwdriver, pull the retaining clip open to take out the battery, and replace it with a brand new one. Choose a battery that is the same voltage, size, and specification as the original.

Water Damage

Damage to your water supply could be the reason for your key fob's inability to function properly. Key fobs have rubber seals that protect them from being damaged by a light rain or splashes of water. However, it is essential to keep your keys out of the pool, ocean and the washing machine!

The key fob has an electronic chip that sends an alert to the immobilizer system in your car. This is the reason why your 500 can lock or start, but when the chip becomes saturated, it won't be able to longer function.

Faulty Chip

The chip that is contained in the key fob communicates with your car's immobiliser unit to ensure the car is able to start when the correct key is inserted. If the chip is damaged or destroyed it won't allow your car to start, no matter what you do.

Water damage or a dead phone battery are among the most frequent causes of a faulty chip. It is recommended to leave the task to a professional locksmith, who can replace the chip quickly and at a reasonable price.

If your key fob stops working after exposure to clean tap water or rain, remove the battery and wipe down the electronic component with a towel to ensure that it is completely dry before putting it back in.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs transmit an alert up to 50 feet to the vehicle, which allows it to unlock and close the doors (and start the vehicle for those with automatic transmissions). However there are a few things that can cause the fob to cease functioning. This could be due to a dead battery, water damage, worn-out buttons an issue with the receiver, signal interference or an issue with the chip.

If the fob was located in the pocket that has been subject to extreme trauma (such as being dropped on a hard floor or being washed in the washer), it may not be in a position to connect with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. This is because the BCM is an extremely secure system that will only accept a signal from a genuine key, and not from any other.

You will need to replace the fob if this happens. A locksmith professional can handle every aspect of the replacement procedure and can even program a brand new one for your 500. In fact, they could provide you with a duplicate key that works just like the original fob (and costs a fraction of the cost).
